hello and a big welcome to those of you watching here in the u.s. and around the world. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. also just in to cnn, incredible video of a plane crash in taiwan. take a look. this footage comes to us from tvvs taiwan. you see the transasia airplane clip a taxi and bridge before it crash lands in a river. so many people on board there. >> heart dropping to watch that. this hour we know that at least 13 people are dead. rescuers have been able to pull some survivors from the wreckage which is just miraculous when you see that video. we'll have a live report on the crash in about ten minutes from now. now to our top story. jordan has executed two al qaeda prisoners in retaliation for the latest brutal murder by isis militants. >> one of the prisoners was sajida al rishawi, a failed suicide bomber that isis had demanded jordan set free. jordan had hoped to trade her for captured fighter pilot muath

al kasasbeh. those hopes were smashed tuesday when isis released a video of him being burned to death while locked inside a cage. >> jordan's king abdullah has cut short his trip to washington and is expected in amman in a couple of hours. he's promised an earth-showing spans to muath al kasasbeh's murder. we have team coverage. in a moment we will talk to phil black with more on the ongoing battle with isis in iraq. >> first let's begin with our becky anderson standing by in abu dhabi. becky, this brutal execution of kasasbeh has unified tribal factions in jordan. you've got massive support for the anti-isis campaign that didn't exist before. what about elsewhere in the middle east as people now wake up and get about their day and digest all of this news? what is the reaction locally? >> reporter: errol, there is

absolutely no doubt that this very public video of the murder of lieutenant muath al kasasbeh brutal even by the standards of isis was aimed squarely at not just at jordan and its citizens an person ally in the u.s.-led fight against isis but also the other members of the coalition, not least the uae, saudi, for example, and other gcc members. if the group thinks that this latest evil will cause the regional players to crack in the short term in their support, i think their actions have seemingly backfired. let's start with jordan who have vowed "punishment and reverchl" for his death, the death of the pilot. the king describing isis as a deviant criminal group. as we've been reporting, the government has already executed the would-be suicide bomber held on death row for nearly a decade now, that isis had tried to get freed recently. so no backing down there.

and take a look at one of the message from the region. the uae's foreign minister here saying this heinous and obscene act represents a brutal escalation by the terrorist group. he says it is the defining moment. hold that thought from she canikh abdullah for a moment. this from the former prime minister "denunciation and condemnation are no longer enough to respond to the terrible terrorist crimes." so what is it that he's alluding to when he says more needs to be done and what can be done going forward is the next question, of course not? it? let's remind our viewers, king abdullah due back in the country in jordan in about two hours' time at 12:00 local. that would be midday here -- sorry, midday local, 5:00 a.m.

eastern. perhaps expect further war then of what his country plans to do. and just to let you know there is talk at least we're hearing from government of sources, that he may go down and pay condolence to the south of the country, to the tribe that the fighter pilot was from. and do remember how important that tribe and, are to jordan and its fight in this coalition. they are active members, the tribes very much providing the military forces to jordan. we've seen factions who in the past may have been less inclined to the government's actions against another sunni group, that being isis. at least at present, in the hours after the video came out, the tribe seem to be coalescing

around the government. talk on social media that people would be at the airport supporting the king when he returns from washington. the question is what happens after that. how will this arab coalition continue to support what is this u.s.-led fight against isis. will it throw more weight behind the u.s. fight or less going forward. errol? >> we'll be watching closely to see when king abdullah returns to jordan. what sack steps he will take. you can see he has this emotional momentum within the country now. key question is how does he play that happen without playing into isis' hands, making them weaker not more strong. becky anderson with the reaction from abu dhabi just past midday. rosemary? just days ago in iraq isis launch an attack and manage to take over an area southwest of kirkuk after heavy clashes. our phil black is in erbil with

more. isis has had its win and losses. what is the situation on the ground there? is there a situation where we're hearing from some and that gets conflicted by others, that they're not going to last much longer? is that the feedback you're getting? it's mixed, rosemary certainly. i think that the momentum that isis had last year when it first charged through this region and claim so much ground so quickly, that has certainly been contained to a significant degree through the hard work of kurdish fighters on the ground with the support of international air power. they have successfully -- not just slowed down the isis advance, but in some places even moved to take back some of the territory this isis first seized:the strategy on the ground the kurd are dedicating themselves to at the moment, is slowing down isis but moving to

contain them particularly around the city of mosul. t the second larget city in iraq and it is firmly under isis control to the west of erbil where i am now. there was fierce fighting on a number of fronts around the city. the occur issue thinking is to try and cut the city off from the syrian border. so that section of isis which controls mosul would be cut off in practical term. especially in terms of resupply and the movement of troops and so forth from the syrian/iraqi border. and they've had some degree in moving toward -- some success in moving toward that objective. so isis under pressure certainly from that kurdish determination on the ground. international air power continues to hit them as well. and yet despite that as you mentioned, around kirkuk to the south of erbil there has been a sudden new attempt to seize territory by isis. with some degree of success, though they've been pushed back a little they also launched a

significant and successful suicide attack in the center of the city as well. all of this while supposedly being under pressure on other fronts. some have theorized that it could be a diversion to try and move those kurdish forces away from mosul, or it is simply another tampa to open a new front in this campaign. either way, a bowl move given to varying degrees isis is on the back foot in some ways and under significant pressure on the ground and from the air, as well. >> we'll continue to watch the situation there. many thanks to phil black reporting from erbil. there is growing concern in the u.s. about home-grown terrorism. ahead, a top fbi official tells us who isis is targeting and the challenges the fbi faces. plus rescuers struggling to pull survivors from a deadly plane crash in taiwan right now. we'll bring you the latest.

at least 13 people are dead after a transasia airways plan crashed in taiwan. dramatic dash cam video from tvbs shows the plane clipping a bridge before crashing there into the water. >> it happened shortly after takeoff from taipei with 5 people on board. most passengers are,ed forment more than -- are accounted for. more than a dozen still missing. >> david mckenzie joins us live

from beijing with the latest. david, we should mention, we're still gathering information. it's still a developing story. we know there are at least, i understand 13 deaths. what's the latest on survivors? who was able to back it through such a -- an incredible crash like that? >> reporter: well that's right. when you see that footage from tvbs of the plane effectively cartwheeling over the highway in taipei clipping the side of the barrier and in fact slamming into a taxi that was parked and then crashing it's incredible that anyone could survive the dramatic crash. it seemed that scores were able to get out of the fuselage of the plane which was inverted. and mostly submerged, it must be said in the river. rescuers went to the scene very quickly on inflatable boats and using all means they to pull people out of the wreckage.

as you say, still a number of people missing, more than -- around 58 people and crew were on board. many of them mainland tourists. ceo of airasia spoke moments ago saying they apologize to the victims and the crew and expressed their deep apology. even vowing to the assembled press in taipei. this is the second deadly accidental crash that the airline had gone through with the same type of plane in around seven months. in july you'll remember there was a crash in outlying island where around 48 people were killed in the airasia crash. >> it's also as we watch this incredible to think as we try and look back at why did this plane go down, what went wrong. we know the plane lost conduct shortly after takeoff, that will make us assume there was a technical issue with the plane. yet somehow based on this video,

the pilot was able to at least, if this of a crash landing, try and get the plane away from populated areas, barely anything that overpass that highway. you mentioned one other crash that transasia had been involved in. >> reporter: this plane, a short hop plane used for going to outlying island popular amongst regional airlines around the world. it in general has a good south korea record. taiwan in itself has had a pretty spotty record particularly the '90s and early 2000s with several crashes. there have been questions asked about the safety record. certainly questions will be asked about the airline which it would appear the second accident in seven months. it's very early days. as you said they are still attempting to get people out of the fuselage in the river at the

scene. and somehow there are survivors. that anyone could walk away from this crash is incredible. and as you said the footage appears to show the pilot trying to avoid the heavily populated buildings of taipei and that was the parts. the negainvestigation -- the investigations will show what happened. this crash mid morning in taipei that certainly has shook the confidence of the people there. >> david mckenney on the line with us from beijing with the latest information out of taipei taiwan. incredible footage of this horrific accident. remarkable anyone was able to walk away. just past 4:16 in the afternoon in taiwan. rosemary? another story we're watching now. investigators are looking into a commuter train crash that killed at least seven people north of new york city. official say the metro north train struck an suv on the tracks at a crossing tuesday

evening. sick train passengers were killed along with the driver. listen as some passengers describe the intense situation. >> a car caught on fire and the first car caught on fire and the second. we were able to get off in time. it was scary. >> the train went silent. you, tell there was panic going on -- you could tell there was panic going on. walk back walk back walk back. >> and officials say about 650 people were on the train when the accident happened. after nine months of war in eastern ukraine, fighting between government troops and rebels reach alarming new levels. coming up see for yourself what life is like for people who live there right now. the kingdom of jordan hits back at isis for the brutal murder of one of its own. we will have the latest. i'm only in my 60's... i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans.

welcome back everyone. the u.n. high commissioner for human rights says any further escalation in ukraine will be catastrophic for civilians. this warning comes as the u.s. is you now considering sending so-called defensive aid to government troops. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is traveling to kiev on thursday to meet with the ukrainian president. senior international correspondent matthew chance joins us live from moscow with

more details on this. so matthew, what's expected out of this meeting between john kerry and the president? could we see the u.s. providing weapon for the fight against pro russian separatists? >> reporter: the answer to that question is something that only john kerry's going to be able to provide. and certainly his -- the ukrainian officials he's going to be meeting including the ukrainian president is going to be listening carefully for what the american response is. of course the ukrainians for some time have been calling on western powers specifically the united states to furnish them with enough weapons so they can fight back more effectively against the russian-backed rebels in the east of the country. the united states and other countries have been reluctant to do that for fear that injecting more weapons into that war zone could have a devastating impact on the conflict. it could instead of stopping it it could escalate it. there are concerns about what

russia's reaction might be. will vladimir putin take this as a provocation, and further up his support for those pro-russian rebels. these are all risks that the u.s. administration are weighing now. we understand from our cnn reporting out of the pentagon that the option of supplying weaponry to the ukrainian government side is being discussed. but as far as we're aware, a decision has not been taken yet. perhaps we'll get more charity on that on the american position when john kerry goes to kiev as you say, on thursday. >> all right. matthew chance reporting there from moscow. many thanks to you. errol? rosemary the reality here is that this conflict has shattered so many lives. it still shows no signs of letting up. and as is usually the case with war, it's the civilians, innocent people paying the highest price. we show what life is like for those caught in the crossfire there. >> reporter: it was once a bustling coal mining region.

and just three years ago, donetsk was named the best city for business in ukraine by "forbes" magazine. now business has been replaced with battle. and the international airport is unrecognizable. nearby russian-backed rebels have turned their attention to a strategic town valuable for its road and rail connections. >> translator: things are just flying around. you have to try to find shelter in time. some people were too late. there are so many people lying on the ground covered with blankets. there's no way to bury them because nobody will di dig graves during the shelling. >> reporter: many resigns hope the fighting would be fleeting. that now -- but now they are fleeing or at least trying to. >> translator: everybody of home hoping that everything will be over soon. the fierce fighting has gone on for two weeks now. the fighting started, and there's no exit from the city. the shops are closed.

there's no gasoline. >> reporter: there's no running water and no electricity. food deliveries to local shops have stopped. what is being collected for heat and snow is melted for drinking water. buses this are scheduled to pick up residents are few and far between. many left to wait for the next hoping one will arrive soon. >> translator: there were no buses to. just two small private buses. they've promised they've called us on the phone, but there are no because because the shelling is intense, and they're afraid to move. >> reporter: those left behind are seeking shelter in basements. with no power or heat the conditions are brutal. supplies are running low. the united nations is so concerned about the deteriorating situation, it's called for an immediate humanitarian truce. it seems neither side is listening. cnn. freed australian reporter peter greste is expected to

arrive home in brisbane in a little less than seven histories. the al jazeera journalist was released from an egyptian jail on sunday after serving 400 days. he and two other al jazeera colleagues were arrested more than 13 months ago and later convicted of supporting the banned muslim brotherhood. they've been granted a new trial, but greste's colleagues remain behind bars. all three deny the charges. parts of the western u.s. are on alert. northern california will likely get some very heavy rain this week. it's just approaching 12:30, middle of the night there. meteorologist pedram javaheri join us from the international weather center with details on what folks on the east coast can expect. >> it's been all about the northeastern united states with all the snowfall they've seen. now on the western side of the united states big story developing here. tremendous rainfall.

one-two punch. one storm comes in on thursday. a second more powerful storm system that bring potentially ten inch of rainfall across northern california higher elevations across the i-5 corridor to seattle. if you're in the agricultural industry across northern california, what a roller coaster. in december four inches, average for december. all of 2013 historic drought, 3.25 inches. a foot of rainfall this past december. things were looking good. fast forward to january very little to absolutely no rainfall came down. in fact weather data has been kept in san francisco since 1850. 165 years of data going back really to the gold rush period. look at the observed rainfall for the entire month of january. all 31 days absolutely no rainfall for the first time in 165 years since the weather record have been kept across san

francisco. in fact january's the second wettest time of the year across this region of california. take a look. things about to improve. two to four inches, san francisco getting into the rain friday into saturday. the forecast looking something like this -- plenty of rainfall the next couple of days.

we'll finish with this anchor team. you're still watching cnn. we pressure that. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. let the's check the headlines this hour. >> jordan says it executed two al qaeda printers early wednesday. one was would-be suicide bomber sajida al rishawi, an iraqi woman who isis had demanded jordan set free. the two were hanged in

retaliation for the isis murder of a jordanian pilot. at least 13 people are dead after a transasia airways plane crashed into a river in taiwan. dash cam video from taiwan shows the plane clipping a tampa bay at a bridge before careening into the river. it happened shortly after takeoff from taipei with 58 people on board. rescuers are working to pull survivors from the wreckage. at least seven people died and 12 were injured when a computer train hit an suv nor new york city. six of those killed in tuesday's crash were inside the train. the female driver of the vehicle also died. the collision happened after gates at the rail crossing came down on the suv which was stopped right there on the tracks. the woman tried but couldn't get the car off the tracks in time. sony says it does not think its annual earnings will take a hit from last year's cyberattack.

the company will delay announcing the official third-quarter results while its entertainment division recovers from the hacking. a preliminary forecast that sony just released predicts net income of $755 million for the quarter. let's get you back to our top story. for a while, the would-be suicide bomber hanged in jordan seemed destined to survive. sajida al rishawi's explosive vest failed to detonate in her 2005 terror attack. >> and though she was sentenced to death, jordan had put a moratorium on executions. then came the killing of the jordanian pilot by isis. we have more on the would-be killer. >> reporter: sajida al rishawi, a convicted would-be suicide bomber was tried and sentenced to death nearly a decade ago. in 2005 she was part of a group of jihadists dispasched by al qaeda in iraq to strike jordan. on november 9th of that year

the bombers killed in a hotel. al rishawi was captured and in confessions aired nine years ago, she said her suicide vest failed to detonate. >> translator: there was a wedding ceremony in the hotel. there were women, men, and children. my husband detonated his bomb and i tried to set off mine but failed. >> reporter: an unofficial moratorium on the death penalty in jordan that ended in december kept al rishawi alive on death row. in her 40s, she was a prominent figure among jihadis. her family was linked to the founder and leader of al qaeda in iraq jordanian-born terrorist zacawi. they sought to exchange al rishawi for kenji goto.

the grammy went nowhere because it never got the evidence it requested. the brutal killing of muath al kasasbeh sparked outrage on the streets of amman. also stirred up a lot of anger on social media. isa suarez is watching that angle of the story and joins us live from london this morning. issa we know that isis recruits through social media. apparently successfully. the video of the pilot being burned alive, that was posted on line as were all the beheading videos. i'm wondering what kind of pro-isis messages you're seeing. >> reporter: the propaganda message really still going on line on facebook or twitter, youtube. we've been speaking to researchers at the terrorism research analysis consortium. basically what they do they track, monitor twitter, facebook youtube to see how they're shaping the message and

bringing in more followers or would-be followers. we've had a look at some of the tweets. a lot of them having taken down because of their inflammatory nature. we've got a couple to show you. the first one reads, "was muath dropping the roses for the children of raqqa? the fir he brought down from the skies became his own destiny! food for thought." the second reads, "the kuffar -- a derogatory term to describe non-muslims -- "the you can tthe kuffar to learn of the offense they've done." many of the online tweets say -- justify the act, the brutal act that we saw by isis committed yesterday, saying it's justifiable under islamic principles. and -- obviously many religious leaders saying this is not islam. we've heard many people in recent days say this. what is interesting from this

video is i'm -- speaking to the people and looking at the isis videos say this is the most gruesome yet. say say this is not isis saying we are weak we need attention. they're saying this is a thought-out plan by isis to bridge some divides between the coalition, be it jordan that we've seen a lot of debate whether jordan should be involved in the coalition, also japan. people saying this is not our war, perhaps we shouldn't be involved. that is exactly what they've been trying to do in this message. errol? >> just about every muslim scholar that we've talked to says time and time again what isis is doing has nothing to do with koran. it's a perversion of islam. i'm wondering how european leaders are reacting today. >> reporter: yeah. condemnation right around europe. let's start with david cameron. he tweeted very quickly after we learned of what happened yesterday. the brutal execution. he said "lieutenant muath al

kasasbeh's sickening murder will only strengthen our resolve to defeat isil." president hollande france also being hit by attacks recently. strongly condemn the brutal assassination of an officer in the army who was held hostage. and chancellor merkel wrote a letter to the president, king of jordan saying "with great horror i heard of the terrible news of the murder of jordanian pilot muath al kasasbeh. it is incomprehensible that humans are able to commit such vicious deeds." that is really the tone across from world leaders and obviously for many many normal people on line tweeting and facebooking messages and indeed newspapers. incomprehensible this gruesome execution. >> certainly easy to agree with that sentiment. live from london this morning, isa suarez thanks. and this is the third execution video from isis in recent weeks. muath al kasasbeh was the first member of the u.s.-lecoalition

to be captured and -- led coalition to be captured and murdered by isis. the group says it killed two captives from japan. isis also claims to have killed five western captives in recent months. you see them here. a video of the beheading of u.s. journalist james foley was posted on line in august. other videos followed showing the murders of is even sotloff and another journalist british citizens david haines and alan henning, and american peter kassig kassig. jordan swiftly responded to the brutal killing of muath al kasasbeh with the execution of two al qaeda prisoners. joining us with analysis of the regional response to these events is the international security director for the asia pacific foundation. thank you for speaking with us. jordan's execution of these prisoners including sajida al rishawi was swift and designed

to appease jordanians who would call for revenge. but was this an appropriate reaction an eye for an eye? >> well certainly it was an emotional response. if anyone had seen this horrific video, it is the most disturbing visualization of terrorism that i have ever seen. and certainly it has become already an emotive issue in jordan. keep in mind that they even offered to release people like al rishawi in exchange for their pile al kasasbeh. clearly isis had toyed with this individual exploited the feelings and designed also to provoke jordan potentially. it's important that whatever jordan's reactions continue to be they don't fall into the isis trap. >> indeed. we have yet to see what further reaction will occur from jordan one the king arrives there in about an hour and a half now.

but some analysts have suggested that the brutal and depraved murder of jordanian pilot muath al kasasbeh by isis was a miscalculation and a sign of disarray within isis. what's your view of that assessment? do you think they can be stopped in their tracks? >> track back to the after math of when al kasasbeh crashed near the capital of isis. they issue a tweeted message that basically said -- asked their followers how do you want us to kill him. and the majority of the supporters spoke about setting him alight crushing him with a bulldozer, and both those method were used. this group seems to use new media as the oxygen of publicity. that potentially backfired? we'll have to wait and see. it also has to be looked at the timing of this event. king abdullah of jordan was in

the united states. also recently isis suffered a major defeat in the syrian town of kobani. they brought fighters and resources there. they took hits. the videos of the japanese nationals could be a wye of trying to hide isis' humiliating defeat in kobani. >> what response would you expect from jordan and other nations across the region in the aftermath of this heinous crime? how likely is it that the murder of the jordanian pilot will act as a turning point and galvanize nations to work together to try to eliminate isis or could it perhaps scare off some of these nations with the concern that the price is just too high? >> i hope it has potentially the same turning point as the 2005 amman bombings in which iman al zawahiri zawahiri's group carried out suicide attacks in jordan. that became a wake-up call for

the country. they gone to cooperate with the u.s. -- they began to cooperate with the u.s. coalition in iraq which ultimately led to the elimination of zawahiri himself. this may embolden them further to commit their resources to assisting in the coalition, in trying to not just degrade isis but eliminate its infrastructure and prevent others from joining it. isis has killed more muslims than they've killed anybody else. this is in need of a united coalition, not just western countries but nations in the leaf. >>. it will be interesting to see -- nations in the middle east as well. >> it will be interesting to see how people understand and digest that this of a fellow muslim who was killed. that was in breach of the teachings of islam to get that message across to people. as you say, mostly isis has killed fellow muslims.

thank you very much for joining us and sharing your analysis. we appreciate that. now in the u.s., there's growing concern about home-grown terrorism. the head of the fbi's counterterrorism division says it's impossible to track every american who might, might travel abroad to join isis. >> in an exclusive interview with senior citizen's pamela brown, he admits the unknown is what worries him the most. we've seen across the globe kids as young as 13 recruited by isil. >> reporter: 13? >> 13. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview the head of the fbi's counterterrorism division michael steinbach, says terrorists are using social media to reach into american homes, grab ahole of vulnerable teenagers, and lure them into their -- grab ahold of vulnerable teenagers, and lure them into their deadly fight. >> there's an effective campaign putting out a false narrative describing what it's like over there. and that's -- that's a narrative

that's sucked up by kids here in the u.s. and other western countries. and unfortunately that's not the truth. >> reporter: over the summer, three teenage girls from denver were caught in germany, not far from their goal of joining isis in syria. >> what we know is that we have been fortunate enough to prevent several instances of youths traveling or attempting to travel. i can't speak with any certainty that minor children have not made it over there. >> reporter: in the cases that you have dealt with, what have you found with the parents? >> we've seen parent who encourage. we've seen parent who are on oblivious and parent in a state of denial. there are individuals out there who are inspireded by the message of terrorist groups. and they encourage family members including their children to follow that path. >> reporter: steinbach admits it's tough to keep track of who

is on the path to jihad. you think there are other americans who we just don't have visible on who could be inspired to become a terrorist? >> i will say absolutely. you know i think it's unrealistic to believe that we've identified everyone. the travelers, the lone wolves those are all kboens. it's the unknowns that worry me. >> reporter: in order to track the ones he does know about, the fbion uses undercover operatives who may supply suspected terrorists with weapon and even weapons to prove the suspect's intend. that's led to accusations of entrapment. >> we don't manufacture terrorists. we identify individuals who have stated an intent. they've stated that they want to conduct violent attacks. they want to travel. they top support a foreign organization -- >> reporter: how do you know it isn't just someone mouthing off? >> we go down investigative path to make sure that we have somebody who has intentions and is not the latter like you said somebody just mouthing

off. >> you how do you been protecting the american people -- balance protecting the american people while protecting their civil liberties? >> we don't have a desire or right to step on somebody's freedom of expression. their right to express their opinion. whether that opinion turns into violent rhetoric and action that's something different. >> reporter: the threat of terrorism is constantly evolving. for michael steinbach and the fbi, the key is to try to keep up. >> what the threat looks like to is certainly not what it looked like ten years ago. it won't be what it looks like in ten years. >> reporter: do you have a sense of what the face of terrorism might look like down the road? >> i don't want to guess. >> more stories to come. greece's newly elected prime minister tries to again eurozone support to reduce the heavy debt load. will it work? that's a good thing, but it doesn't cover everything. only about 80% of your part b medical expenses.

greece's new left wing government is keeping european leader and marks on their toes. the country's plan to swap its outstanding dead with new bon. there's still deep skepticism among eurozone leaders. in an interview with richard quest, greece's economy minister talked about why europe should back the plan. >> we are not blackmailing the european partners. we are proposing the most logical solution nowadays

accepted by many headquarters around europe. so we are talking sense. we are trying to find the most logical solution which is good for both sides. we are investing on the mutual leaders, not only a day of conflict and blackmail. >> ever since the election victory, the new prime minister alexis tsipras, and the finance minister have been turning on the charm touring european capitals to gain support of the measure. the finance minister has a meeting in bank later to. we have more on this so-called european charm offensive. so jim, give us an idea, they're going to need a lot of charm presumably to get support for this new measure. and how's that meeting going to go with the european central bank? >> well the one with european central bank is very person. greece basically needs something by the end of february.

we're talking about a bridge financing. we're talking about an extension in the current bailout. whatever it is by the end of february technically they will not be -- not have access to european funding. one thing greece would like to see is the european central bank birthday it the able to -- the ability to be able to raise funding in a short-term bridge loan until they can sort all the other political issue and other talk. so the charm offensive really is also very much getting down to business. getting these men to meet each other, to fine out where they stand. i think the key is the european central bank which is conservative as a central bank. seeing if there's any wiggle room there to allow greece at least another couple of months of bothing room. so even though they're just meeting today, mario draghi the head of the the european central bank and finance minister will be talking serious, serious issues. on the other happen you have the prime minister mr. tsipras meeting with the president of the european commission in brussels. i not that's more the charm

offensive. that's more the prime minister going around and making sure this europe knows where exactly it stands. i think one of the keys we've heard the last couple of days is that time is running out. there's no doubt. some kind of deal even temporary, has to be med. they are using conciliatory word to each other. they are talking about being partners. greece said we want to find a way through this. we're not looking at blacking. we're not looking at being confrontational. so far, we're talking about conciliatory words, but there has to be some kind of action in the next few weeks. markets are getting worried. some days we see the stock market in greece going much higher. days we hear about people taking more money out of greek banks. depends on how the language coming out of the meetings today, we'll see how the marks go when they hear what the finance minister says and if we hear from mr. draghi. >> it doesn't matter what they say and do. they can't avoid the numbers. greece has spent too much money and is borrowing a lot of money. it's going to have to pay a lot

back. how's the new plan going to work? >> one of the ideas is that they would like to see them -- greece would like to see its debt tied to growth. in other words, not tied to austerity. so this is one of the ideas that's been coming around a lot of -- a lot of radical pears or left wing right wing parrots that are anti-austerity. they say we will pay back the debt, but only when we see growth. link it to growth which there is of course, absolutely none in the ears. said don't make us pay -- in the eurozone. said don't make us pay it back by privatizing, making thing harder for citizens. let us grow, try to grow and we'll pay you back for that growth. it's not an idea that has taken hold in places like germany and finland. this is what greece is trying to do. you might see spain and ireland and portugal and say, we'll like that as well. >> if that growth is going to take such a long time, when's going to get behind that? we'll see. respects from london, many
